TEHRAN, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Millions of Iranians took to the polls in two key elections Friday, the first since last year's landmark nuclear deal and economic sanctions against the country were lifted.
Iranians are voting for members of the 290-person Parliament for four-year terms and the 88 member Assembly of Experts, which chooses the supreme leader. Assembly of Experts members serve for eight years. There are some 53,000 polling stations throughout the country with about 55 million people eligible to vote.
